(MARC A. VENUS)<br \/><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A team representing Mount Carmel School\u2019s Class of 1990 took home top honors last Saturday at the first-ever Grill Off competition held by the AlumKnight Association at the Philcom Pavilion in Susupe, across the Guma Hustitia.<\/p>\n<p>The team \u201cHappy Grill More,\u201d composed of MCS alumni John Blanco, Mark Flores, and Joe Torres, captured first place with their grilled pork ribs, red rice, and macaroni salad. The trio took home a chopping board that recognizes them as the winners of the Grill Off, plus a gift bag.<\/p>\n<p>The team \u201cSmoke\u2019s on You,\u201d composed of Class of 2006 members Lee Tenorio, Cil Camacho, Queanna Sablan, and Naomi Tagabuel, took second place in the competition, while the team \u201cHoly Smoke,\u201d composed of Class of 1990 alumni Donna Flores, Becky Sablan, Lynette Villagmoez, and Nerissa Benavente, took third. The two placers received a gift bag, courtesy of Pacifica Insurance Underwriter, Inc., and a decorated cooking spoon. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSlab by Silly!\u201d consisting of Class of 2013 alumni Victoria Deleon Guerrero, Michelle Masga, John Saludez, and Ken Taguchi finished fourth and received a gift bag. <\/p>\n<p>A total of four teams participated in the Grill Off.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s selected meat for the competition was pork ribs. Teams were judged based on the meat\u2019s appearance, taste, texture, moisture, tenderness, aroma, creativity, and overall impression on a 5-point scale for each category. <\/p>\n<p> \u201cThis competition was a great way of bringing our alumni together and promoting the school and its alumni association,\u201d Blanco said. <\/p>\n<p>Although this was a first-ever event, the possibility of making more like this could happen in the future, said MCS AlumKnights Association vice president Dr. Yvonne Pangelinan.<\/p>\n<p>She said they came up with the idea of a grilling competition to avoid a fundraising event, as they understand that families are still recovering from the previous typhoons and that finances are tight at the moment. \u201cTime is precious and family is precious. Removing that financial barrier to bring people together was really important for us,\u201d Pangelinan said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A team representing Mount Carmel School\u2019s Class of 1990 took home top honors last Saturday&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-310560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=310560"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310560\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=310560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=310560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=310560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
